Tick-borne pathogens in camels: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence in dromedaries

El-Sayed El-Alfy, Ibrahim Abbas, Somaya Saleh, Rana Elseadawy, Ragab M. Fereig, Mohamed Abdo Rizk, Xuenan Xuan

Summary: Published data on tick-borne pathogens in camels worldwide have been collected, providing an overview of their global prevalence and species diversity. Evidence of natural infection of camels with certain tick-borne pathogens is limited, particularly because most of the camels were considered healthy at the time of sampling. More research is needed to understand the role of camels in maintaining and transmitting these pathogens.

Characterization and outcomes of difficult-to-treat patients starting modern first-line ART regimens: Data from the ICONA cohort

Roberta Gagliardini, Alessandro Tavelli, Stefano Rusconi, Sergio Lo Caputo, Vincenzo Spagnuolo, Maria Mercedes Santoro, Andrea Costantini, Alessandra Vergori, Franco Maggiolo, Andrea Giacomelli, Giulia Burastero, Giordano Madeddu, Eugenia Quiros Roldan, Antonella d'Arminio Monforte, Andrea Antinori, Alessandro Cozzi-Lepri

Summary: This study evaluated multiple treatment failures to modern antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected individuals and found that approximately 4% of them were difficult to treat. The difficult to treat group, compared to the non-difficult to treat group, was characterized by older age, higher prevalence of AIDS, lower CD4+ cell count, and higher risk of treatment failure.

microRNA as biomarkers in tuberculosis: a new emerging molecular diagnostic solution

Piyush Agrawal, Aditya Upadhyay, Awanish Kumar

Summary: Tuberculosis is a lethal infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. During infection, the expression of host microRNAs changes, which could be potential biomarkers for early detection of tuberculosis. Further research is needed to identify potential microRNA biomarkers, but momentum is gaining in this field and microRNAs are expected to become routine approaches for reliable diagnosis and specific therapeutic interventions.

Immunomodulatory actions of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the context of innate immunity

Nikoleta Bizymi, Andreas M. Matthaiou, Irene Mavroudi, Aristea Batsali, Helen A. Papadaki

Summary: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are innate immune cells that have immunomodulatory properties. They interact extensively with other innate or adaptive immune cells and can either enhance or attenuate immune responses depending on the triggering conditions. However, their positive role in host defense mechanisms is rarely discussed in the literature.

Exploring the influence of host community composition on the outbreak potential of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi s.l.

Nannet D. Fabri, Hans Heesterbeek, Joris P. G. M. Cromsigt, Frauke Ecke, Hein Sprong, Lonneke Nijhuis, Tim R. Hofmeester, Nienke Hartemink

Summary: In many parts of the northern hemisphere, different species of deer, small mammals, and birds coexist and their composition can strongly influence the outbreak potential of tick-borne pathogens. This study investigates how the abundance and composition of vertebrate communities affect the basic reproduction number R0 of tick-borne pathogens, and shows that species composition plays a substantial role in the outbreak potential of tick-borne diseases.

Babesia negevi infection in dogs and response to treatment

Harold Salant, Yaarit Nachum-Biala, Doni Zivotofsky, Tsachi Even Tzur, Gad Baneth

Summary: This study describes the presentation, clinical signs, parasitemia levels, laboratory findings and treatment of dogs infected with B. negevi. Treatment with imidocarb dipropionate was helpful for recovery from clinical disease but did not facilitate parasite elimination, and it is therefore recommended to treat canine B. negevi infection with the combination of atovaquone and azithromycin.

2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride as colorimetric indicator for drug susceptibility testing against nontuberculous mycobacteria

Mariana Quaresma de Souza, Dienefer Venske Bierhals, Ana Julia Reis, Erica Chimara, Julia Silveira Vianna, Andrea von Groll, Pedro Almeida da Silva, Ivy Bastos Ramis

Summary: This study proposed and evaluated a drug susceptibility testing method using 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) as a colorimetric indicator for the clinical relevant non-tuberculous mycobacteria (Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC), M. avium complex (MAC), and M. kansasii). The results showed high agreement between TTC assay and the recommended broth microdilution method, indicating the potential of TTC as a promising indicator in drug susceptibility testing for NTM.

Is Brucella excreted in cattle faeces? - Evidence from Punjab, India

V. Sharma, P. Kaur, R. S. Aulakh, R. Sharma, R. Verma, B. B. Singh

Summary: Brucellosis is a neglected zoonosis that affects animals and people in the underdeveloped world. This study aimed to isolate and identify Brucella species from faeces of sero positive cattle in Punjab, India. Fourteen Brucella species were isolated, with 11 identified as Brucella abortus and 3 identified as Brucella melitensis. The study highlights the potential risk of animal faeces for animal and human health and emphasizes the need for careful handling of faeces from seropositive cattle.
